“…Sutcliffe et al (1983) suggested a link between Hudson Bay runoff variations and the salinity minimum on the Labrador and Newfoundland shelves. Myers et al (1990) confirmed the presence of a correlation between runoff from Hudson Bay and salinity at Station 27, off St. John's, but with a ninemonth, rather than a four-month lag as suggested by Sutcliffe et al (1983). In a later paper, Myers et al (1993) found that the amplitude of the salinity minimum at Station 27 is more closely correlated with sea-ice extent on the Labrador and northern Newfoundland shelves than with runoff in Hudson Bay.…”

“…In a later paper, Myers et al (1993) found that the amplitude of the salinity minimum at Station 27 is more closely correlated with sea-ice extent on the Labrador and northern Newfoundland shelves than with runoff in Hudson Bay. Nevertheless, Myers et al (1990) also found that the minimum salinity in the centre of Hudson Strait occurs in November and December, so that there is evidence of a relationship between maximum river discharge in May and June and freshwater export from Hudson Strait. The sixmonth delay between freshet and central Hudson Strait discharge indicates a mean advection speed of 6 cm/s, which is in keeping with the weak counterclockwise circulation observed in Hudson Bay (Prinsenberg, 1980).…”

“…We propose that it may be either a natural oscillation in the coupled ice-ocean system of the type described by Yang and Neelin (1993) or Zhang et al (1995), or a decadal-scale regional climate cycle involving feedbacks between the atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice cover and runoff of a form similar to that proposed in Mysak et al (1990) or Mysak and Power (1992). It is well known that runoff stiongly affects sea-ice extent in marginal seas (Prinsenberg, 1988;Manak and Mysak, 1989;Mysak and Power, 1991); thus runoff variations may also be important for Labrador Sea ice-cover variations (Myers et al, 1990).…”

“…The station has been checked regularly since its establishment in 1946. Measurements from Stn 27 provide robust ocean climate signals for the entire Newfoundland -Labrador Shelf (Petrie et al 1988, Myers et al 1990). Annual averages of SST during June, July and August were used.…”
